Abstract

Powder samples of Na2Ti3O7 were prepared by the solid-state reaction method and deposited with Co3O4 and CuOx by wet impregnation in different concentrations. The structural characterization confirmed the formation of the pure Na2Ti3O7 phase and the presence of the mentioned oxides as clusters of nanoparticles over the surface of the support. The bare Na2Ti3O7 sample exhibited photocatalytic activity for H2 and CO production in water splitting and CO2 reduction, respectively. Meanwhile, adding Co3O4 (5 wt%) improved only CO formation. A particular behavior was observed in samples impregnated with CuOx; for instance, a small amount of CuOx (1 wt%) enhanced H2 generation, while a larger one (5 wt%) promoted the CH4 formation. In the present photocatalytic reaction system, although the Na2Ti3O7 phase slowly transformed to the H2Ti3O7 under illumination, no further changes were observed after this transition. On the other hand, CuO cocatalyst was reduced to Cu2O during the reaction, causing a radical change in the reaction performance.
